Hillary Clinton Quietly Signs On To Bill New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton quietly became a co-sponsor of a bill aimed at making traced gun data public, reports the New York Post. Clinton signed on to the bill last week after New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez had already formally filed it, and she never announced her support of it in a press release. Clinton has been a strong advocate of gun control, but has been somewhat silent on the issue recently. Last year, Clinton opposed the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, which protects firearms industry companies from frivolous lawsuits.
